Addressing global issues at the G20 summit, Sir Keir criticised Russian President Vladimir Putin's decision to lower the threshold for a nuclear strike, calling it "irresponsible rhetoric."
He emphasized Labour’s continued support for Ukraine, stating:
"This is not going to deter our support for Ukraine."
He added that the UK would continue to support Ukrain by providing what it needs for as long as possible.
The UK has supplied Ukraine with its Storm Shadow missiles and £7.5 million funding for new attack and surveillance drones have also been announced even though ministers have not been drawn on details about their use.
However, domestically, the UK faces growing pressure over its financial policies. Critics have pointed to divisions within the government and the potential economic consequences of the budget.
Sir Keir also declined to comment on whether he would take advice from Lord Mandelson to repair relations with Elon Musk, a prominent figure in Donald Trump’s incoming U.S. administration.
The triple challenge of opposition from farmers, employers, and pensioners has placed Sir Keir’s leadership under scrutiny, but he remains steadfast, insisting Labour’s policies will create long-term economic stability.
As Labour navigates these domestic challenges, Sir Keir reiterated his belief that the party has “turned a page” from years of instability, asserting that the government’s decisions are already attracting much-needed investment to the UK.
